AFL Memorabilia piece of the day...

Since the footbal season is among us a friend of mine, Todd Tobias, a football historian, started posting the AFL piece of the day to his friends. So with his help I pass this great information on...

Charlie McNeil was a hard-hitting safety for the Chargers from 1960-1964. McNeil grew up in Los Angeles, and attended Compton JC. He played in one AFL All-Star Game (1962), and in four AFL championship games. Cha...rile McNeil had 14 interceptions in 1961, which he returned for 349 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had 19 career interceptions.

Sadly, McNeil died in1994, when he took his own life.
